Monday translation class is always fun like Miss Tan asked us to find out the slogan or anything wrote in English and BM version last week and share your opinion about the translation is whether good or bad during the class. And there is 1 really funny when D4's Eng Soon wrote the Nike's slogan, "Just Do It" with the translation in BM, "Buat Sahajalah". Teacher asked where he get the translation, he answered he got it from his friend own translation. Then, the whole class laughed include Miss Tan. Hahaha... well, the fact is the Nike slogan still remain as "Just Do It" in all the language versions and this is where we should pay attention to and don't simply translate it directly because you might end up lose your job in future. So, translation for me has become a quite challenging subject yet it's quite fun too. And 1 more thing that amaze me is Miss Tan's memory. She's always well prepared when comes to class and I think she had memorized all the big company's slogans in English and BM version. Woah~ what a good memory with her age now... hahaha... ^^
Tuesday was the fisrt lecture of Communication Research Method. And the class really makes me want to get crazy all suddenly because it's a theory class. I really hate theory especially a format of anything that need us to follow it exactly. Hate it... When the lecturer was keep on saying and explaining the format, my mind suddenly was "over-thinking". What I mean by "over-thinking" here is my mind comes out with some kind of resistance that keep blocking everything the lecturer said and keep on asking why I should learn this subject. As what Edwin said previously, this subject is learned to guide us for thesis writing in UK. But let's think further and farer, is it benefit us when we come out to work as graphic designer? Unfortunately the answer would be no. If a company is looking for someone to serve them an annual report or speech for presentation, definitely they will look for public relation or journalism graduate. Impossible for them to hire a graphic designer to write them a news, right? So, I totally pay no attention to the lecture.
Oh yah... after Edwin's tutorial that day, Yan Wei and Joanne went to ask Edwin for something. And this is what I heard from them, our diploma certificate is stated as "Diploma In Mass Communication" but after 2 years it will be changed to "Diploma in Graphic Design" which means the syllabus will be more focus specifically on graphic design instead of mass communication. Woah~ should I happy or sad? Happy is TARC finally has Diploma in Graphic Design instead of mass communication that we can no need to learn non-graphic design subjects. Sad is there will only happen after 2 years PERHAPS... Haiz... too bad I had already graduated that time...
Comes to Thursday, there is also another theory lecture which is Communication Theories on 8am somemore. But LUCKILY the lecturer makes the whole lecture a bit interesting and funny, or else I think I won't pay attention to it neither. After the lecture will be Edwin's practical class, and we are given assignment finally. We are requested to use the pictogram to form a story. In the same time, he also suggest us a few ways to improve our portfolio and to make whole the assignment look tidy and great. I really appreciate his suggestions and what I need to do now is be more hardworking and more passionate to all the works.
Well, that's all I want to share about this week. And after I been through this 2 weeks, I realize that the relationship between each other is still remain as their own group during Diploma. D1 stick with D1, D2 with D2...... is there a way that make us stick closely to each other? Erm... that day also heard Edwin said maybe want to seperate into 2 class since unexpected that many students. What to say??

The First Week of AGD1
The new semester of Advance Diploma in Graphic Design(AGD1) had started on this Monday. It will be another new begining for those who further their study at TARC again. Well, I guess that's only 5 persons from our class are going to study this time. Anyway, do your best and good luck to you all who is going to study at other college soon and also to those went for work. I will always miss you guys!!
After this few day classes, I just found out that there are 3 theory classes out of 4 subjects. Haiz... theory again and there are 3 somemore! What a most pity thing for SSSH students to study theory and especially we're the GRAPHIC DESIGNERS. Well, we don't have a choice but just accept whatever it offers because we are TARCIAN, learn many compare with other professional college in Mass Comm field.
Erm... after see the time table, I think the Communication Theories and Communication Research Methods are not an easy subject. As what you can see from the title subject, we need learn those theories and research method about an issue. We may requested to write a long report or you can call it in professional way, the thesis. And from what we heard from Edwin said, this subject is offered to us is to teach us the thesis base so we can prepare the thesis well when further study oversea. Erm... so, we can't change the fact and just hoping the lecturer and tutor are good in teaching...
For Edwin's class, Infographic, where the designer need to design the icon, symbol or a plate to give the info to public. So, this subject is the only design subject for this semester and it will be interesting too. And before the class really started, he just asked us "Why you want to take Advance?" with his funny smiling face. Haha... for me, I'm taking Advance is to further my knowledge not only the design skills but also to find out the way of generate the idea from study.I also looking toward for learning some new design softwares like Flash and Dreamweaver that contribute to web page design which is quite basic requirement for a graphic designer. And of course another common reason of continue Advance at TARC is C-H-E-A-P CHEAP~ or you can say it in a better way, affordable. Hahaha...
Another subject for the sem will be Translation and Graphic Design. Erm... this subject is totally do with language and is all about translation. And the lecturer remind me of something, "Money is not everything but everything is about money" and "You can't change the pass and control the future but what can do is now" Erm... what she said is really true and always stick to it. Anyway, I just want to tell you that this subject is not that easy but it makes a lot of funny stuff when comes to literal translate. So, it will be fun even though it will be a little tricky. Haha... I quite like it and hope the coming assignment is just fine.
Erm... this is all I want to post about this week. Now I feel a little tired and sleepy because of looking for room to rent and it has been settled. Now just wait for assignment and start again... my college life...

你有几次是真诚地对待自己呢？
“我不是一个很理性的人
缺点又超多的
只是我有一个超欣赏自己的地方
那就是我很真诚的对待自己
我想哭 我想笑 想逃 想跑
我都会表现出来
我觉得你把真正的自己给关住了
你做每一件事都很棒
但我却感受不到
你喜欢一件事情的热情
也许
你还不够了解真正的自己吧”
来自《黑塘玛奇朵》的一句对白...
听过这句对白后
我就问过自己
“你有几次是真诚地对待自己呢？”
